You guys. There’s a kitten in Sarah + Shawn’s engagement session. CUE THE TEARS. I met these two wonderful people at their condo right in Downtown Mt. Vernon in the heart of Baltimore – right where House of Cards is filmed! Their home has a beautiful ivy-covered cast iron courtyard that was the perfect place to take photos with their new kitten, Clara. If you know of my immense love for cats then you know how difficult it was to put distance between us to take photos – she’s so perfect. Sarah & Shawn’s friend found her abandoned in a field in Gettysburg, PA and these two took her in, gave her a home, and shower her in love + cat toys. After waving goodbye to Clara in the window, we adventured through their neighborhood parks & side streets taking photos along the way. Shawn is a guru of trivia and knew so many facts about the architecture & history of the houses, cathedrals, and monuments of Baltimore. It was like taking a personal tour with someone who could answer any question! Sarah + Shawn are awesome and I am so looking forward to their wedding next year at the Brantwyn Estate in Delaware!
